The proposed bill would provide support to research that examines the pandemic’s toll on mental health, especially for health care workers. Other funding would support post-pandemic mental health response and suicide prevention.
Opeeka announced the release of its Person-Centered Intelligence Solution (P-CIS), an assessment and care planning software for social, behavioral and mental health care. P-CIS supports person-centered care by helping youth and families in care easily communicate their story, circumstances, and progress.
The prevalence of adverse mental and behavioral health conditions increased in every category. Students and essential workers were significantly more likely to report some kind of adverse mental health symptoms than any other group featured in the survey.
Many migrant families got to the border and were forcibly separated, often given little information and put in poor, unsanitary living conditions. Many parents didn’t know if they would ever see their children again; some children thought their parents had deliberately abandoned them.
The FFPSA provides guidance and the necessary funding flexibility to augment prevention activities, keeping children and youth more often in home and family care settings, surrounded by natural and community supports. P-CIS uniquely facilitates the collection and sharing of information needed to build prevention strategies across a system of care and automates the conversion of assessment data into trauma-informed written plans.
The pandemic has closed schools, offices, sports arenas and limited social interaction for millions of people — perhaps an even bigger struggle for young people more used to being active.
A once-in-a-century pandemic provides a once-in-a-lifetime chance to improve public health.
The physical toll of COVID-19 is stark, with more than 484,000 dead, and over 27 million infected in the U.S. But among the millions of Americans who lost jobs during the economic downturn sparked by the pandemic, or who have seen their hours and wages cut, the toll on mental health is also widespread.
Experts paint a grim picture of the struggle with lockdown isolation — a “mental health pandemic” that should be treated as seriously as containing the coronavirus.
